>>11453149The kid should have taken the chance to tell him not to let them clamp. That he did not implies he either doesn't know how bad things have gotten, or lacks memory of his past lives. I've carried this sensation of stress like "they're doing it wrong" for my entire life, and I finally realized it was a body memory of being clamped and immediately taken from my mother. My next memory I have associated is the corner where a wall and ceiling meet.
He goofed. Sadly he'll realize soon enough.
